Chapter 21: Navigation Bars

Basic Navigation Bar

Navigation bars are essentially a list of links, so the ul and li elements are used to encase navigation links.

<ul>
 <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
 <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</ul>

HTML5 Navigation Bar

To make a navigation bar using the HTML5 nav element, encase the links within the nav tag.

<nav>
 <a href="#">Home</a>
 <a href="#">About</a>
 <a href="#">Contact</a>
</nav>

Chapter 16: Image Maps

Tag/AttributeValue
<img>Below are the image map-specific attributes to use with <img>. Regular <img> attributes apply.
usemapThe name of the map with a hash symbol prepended to it. For example, for a map with name=“map”, the image should have usemap=“#map”.
<map>
nameThe name of the map to identify it. To be used with the image’s usemap attribute.
<area>Below are <area>-specific attributes. When href is specified, making the <area> a link, <area>
also supports all of the attributes of the anchor tag (<a>) except ping. See them at the MDN docs.
altThe alternate text to display if images are not supported. This is only necessary if href is also set on the <area>.
coordsThe coordinates outlining the selectable area. When shape=“polygon”, this should be set to a list of
“x, y” pairs separated by commas (i.e., shape=“polygon” coords=“x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, …”).
When shape=”rectangle”, this should be set to left, top, right, bottom. When
shape=“circle”, this should be set to centerX, centerY, radius.
hrefThe URL of the hyperlink, if specified. If it is omitted, then the <area> will not represent a hyperlink.
shapeThe shape of the <area>. Can be set to default to select the entire image (no coords attribute necessary), circle or circ for a circle, rectangle or rect for a rectangle, and polygon or poly for a polygonal area specified by corner points.

Chapter 14: Using HTML with CSS

CSS provides styles to HTML elements on the page. Inline styling involves usage of the style attribute in tags, and is highly discouraged. Internal stylesheets use the <style> tag and are used to declare rules for directed portions of the page. External stylesheets may be used through a <link> tag which takes an external file of CSS and applies the rules to the document. This topic covers usage of all three methods of attachment.
